We expect the historic trolleybus rides to be very popular, so get there early! It’s first come, first served. Rides end at 4 p.m. on all three days, so the last departure will be about 70 mins. prior on Aug. 16 and about half-an-hour prior on Aug. 18 & 24.

The last streetcar route departed Vancouver’s streets in 1955. Diesel buses soon joined the fleet, and later came compressed natural gas and diesel-electric hybrid buses. Next year, we’ll begin trialling four fast-charge battery-electric buses on the 100 Marpole Loop/22nd Street Station route.

Our trolleybus fleet today consists of 262 forty- and sixty-foot buses built by New Flyer. We’re the only transit system in Canada that operates trolleybuses and our fleet is one of the largest in North America!

Hi Ian, the special rides end at 4 p.m., so last departure will be before 3:30 p.m. As I mentioned in the post, we expect the rides to be very popular, so best get there as early as possible to ensure you get on. :) P.S. I’ve updated the post to include this information.

Hi Andy, not at this time. However, I do know the Transit Museum Society does fan trips regularly with their fleet of historical buses. You can visit https://www.transitmuseumsociety.org/ for more information.
